Still no luck with finding a motor for this unit and no one that I've contacted has been able to help (why couldn't they have used a generic "off the shelf" motor?). Or, better yet, why couldn't they have used a more reliable AC motor that uses a disc attached to the bottom motor shaft and a permanent magnet to control speed? Oh, I know! Because it would cost them extra money.
I think the fixed speed of this unit used an AC motor and there are actual holes in the motorboard for the standard AC motor; so, I may be caught ripping te AC motor out of one of these junker record players and installing it in this unit. The only drawback will be that I lose variable speed control.
Now, let me make a note to myself not to ever buy anymore of these later run school record players that are known to use DC motors.
